Abstract: A sensing device for detecting a vehicle's (1) skid, an attitude and a speed
with lane markers (2). This sensing device allows sensors (3-6) mounted on the vehicle (1)
to detect lane markers (2) arranged on the lane center along a road. The lane
markers (2) are detected in a magnetic, electric, or optical manner. Based on
outputs of the sensors (3-6), a movement of the vehicle is measured. Two sensors
each are provided on front and rear of the vehicle (1). Four outputs from the
respective sensors (3-6) are calculated based on given equations (additions and
subtractions) so that a skid amount of the vehicle (1) from the lane center, the
attitude and the speed of the vehicle can be found. This simple construction
formed by the sensors detecting the lane markers and the circuits performing
addition and subtraction can measure the skid, attitude and speed of the
vehicle.

IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: An electronic control unit (40) for controlling an internal combustion engine drive
executes a first operation mode for injecting a fuel in a suction stroke while making an air/fuel
ratio feedback control, when a demand for improving output characteristics is made in a
medium/high load drive state of the engine (1). In response to a demand for raising the
temperature of a catalyst, moreover, the first operation mode is switched to a second operation
mode in which the fuel is injected in a compression stroke while making an air/fuel ratio
feedback control performing a predetermined air/fuel ratio in the vicinity of a stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio as a target value. At the time of switching to each of these operation modes,
moreover, the air/fuel ratio correction coefficient of the air/fuel ratio feedback is
increased/decreased to promote a shift of the output turning point of an O 2  sensor (22) thereby
to prevent such an instability of the air/fuel ratio control as is caused by the shift of the target
air/fuel ratio accompanied with the switching to each operation mode. 
     As a result, the temperature of an exhaust purifying catalyst (3) is raised in the second
operation mode for performing the compression stroke injection stably in the vicinity of the
stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, so that the exhaust cleaning performance can be improved and so
that the output characteristics can be improved by executing the first operation mode.

Abstract: A fuel cell separator unit having a crosslinked
rubber layer is fabricated by coating a rubber-containing
coating agent on the periphery of the surface of a
separator to form a thin, unvulacanized rubber layer, and
then vulcanizing or crosslinking the thin rubber layer.
A tightly sealed fuel cell is constituted by providing
both sides of the main body of the fuel cell with separator
units fabricated in the manner described above. When a
fuel cell separator fabricated through a crosslinking by
radioactive ray irradiation, the performance of the fuel
cell is not hindered by the ingredient(s) of a rubber
packing. The present invention provides a fuel cell
sealing structure which ensures a perfect sealing.
According to the present invention, a step of attaching
a thin rubber packing is no longer necessary.

Abstract: An assembly for controlling the position of a lens (122) in an optical data storage and
retrieval drive includes a carriage that suspends a lens holder using a plurality of
flexures (260,262). A lens is mounted in the lens holder such that the center of mass of the
suspended lens holder lies on the optical axis of the lens, and also coincides with the
center of mass of the lens. The lens holder is capable of relative motion with respect
to the carriage (106) with at least one degree of freedom. The center of mass of the carriage
lies within 0.1mm of the optical axis, proximate the center of mass of the lens holder.
Suspensory forces acting on the lens holder are symmetric about the optical axis. A
coarse magnetic drive moves the carriage in a tracking direction, and exerts forces on
the carriage that are balanced and symmetric about the optical axis, so that moments
about the center of mass of the carriage are effectively absent. Inertial forces acting on
the carriage, and forces reactive to the magnetic drive forces are also balanced and
symmetric with respect to the optical axis, and produce insubstantial moments about the
center of mass of the carriage. There is a fine tracking and a focusing drive for the lens
holder. Both of these drives produce balanced and symmetric forces about the optical
axis, such that moments about the optical axis are absent. Inertial forces and reactive
forces acting on the suspended lens holder are also symmetric about the optical axis.
As a result the objective lens moves along its optical axis, and in its tracking direction
without change in attitude, and its focal point can be precisely controlled with respect
to the surface of a storage medium being read or written.
